Recordings related to Billy Bunter, a fictional character created in 1908 in a boy's weekly story paper in England.
The recordings feature Billy Bunter of Greyfriars School, known as 'The Fat Owl of the Remove', a fictional character created in 1908 by Charles Hamilton (writing under the pen name Frank Richards) for the boys weekly story paper "The Magnet", which was published in London by the Amalgamated Press between 1908 and 1940.

Billy Bunter
I always enjoyed the Bunter books since the 1950's and was very impressed by the TV series starring Gerald Campion, who was the perfect Bunter. Kynaston Reeves was great as Quelch, in spite of fluffing his lines.
Amazing how the author wrote so many books/stories. I understand he was in the Guinness Book of Records, for writing so many.
I still read them occasionally, in my 70's as they're good stories and still laugh at some of the humour.
